As someone who relies on facial cues with my hearing disability, I can totally attest to the "Gen Z stare". For example, I had to chair a meeting and said, "I hope everyone had a great extra-long Canada Day weekend." Complete silence and a wall of blinking eyes...ok, moving on...haha.
As someone who works in an academic field, students' interaction is way down. We had to cancel our summer retreat because of low turnout.

First they came for our elders, mocking their supposedly outdated opinions with a single, repeated refrain: "OK, boomer."
Then, they came for millennials, like, rather aggressively, making fun of their ankle socks, coffee dependence, for pausing before speaking in videos and for knowing which Hogwarts house they'd be sorted into, all while stealing their baggy jeans and butterfly hair clips.
Certainly, they came for Gen Alpha, calling them Sephora Kids for having 24-step skincare routines by the age of nine. And Gen X, well ... no one's bothered mocking them recently, which we, of course, mock them for.
